Nigel Mansell: My Autobiography

Anotace

Nigel Mansell: the name is synonymous with speed, bravery, tremendous drive and sheer bloody determination. A fearless driver who frequently breaks the pain barrier in pursuit of the winner's podium, and whose career has been a roller coaster ride of exalted peaks and desperate troughs. But to many, he is an enigma and few within the sport or outside it have understood what fuels his obsessive desire to be No. 1.
Nigel Mansell is the most successful British Grand Prix driver in history and, according to the record books, one of the all-time greats. He has been a top box-office draw for over a decade; revered as 'the people's champion', his presence on the grid guarantees a full hoth while off the circuit, his candid opinions have often seen him on collision course with motor racing pundits and those who control the sport.
In his keenly awaited autobiography, Nigel tells the extraordinary story of his breakthrough and rise to the summit of Formula One, a pressure cooker sport ruled by money, power and political intrigue. He reveals the many false starts including the sale of the family home to stave off financial ruin and an excruciating test-drive with a broken back to seal his elevation to the big league.
Here, for the first time, Nigel explains his driving technique, psychological approach and philosophy of life that helped him to outwit and outmanoeuvre the most ruthless drivers in the world: giants like Ayrton Senna, Alain Prost, Niki Lauda and Nelson Piquet. He also describes the single-mindedness that enabled him, after a cruelly deflating eleventh hour reversal in 1986, to make history by winning the World Drivers Championship in 1992 and the Indy Car World Series back-to-back.
Providing a fascinating insight into the compelling spectacle of Grand Prix racing, Where the difference between winning and losing is measured in split seconds and millions of pounds, this is a frank and exhilarating account of the life of one of the great sporting heroes of our time.
